Metros A joined BUIHA competitions in the 2004-05 season, beginning in Division 2. In the first few years the team were nomadic, lacking a home rink. Games were played at Sheffield (both Queens Road and IceSheffield), and then Bradford, before the new rink in Altrincham was completed. The A team moved to Division 1 North in the 2010-11 season after a double victory in the Division 2 Playoff Final and Tier II National Championships in 2010.

2011 saw the entry of a C team into the 3rd tier National Championships. This third team then joined the Cup Competitiion in the following season, and have competed in the top non-checking division for 2 years.
